Many of you may have heard about the latest “adult coloring” phase.   Coloring can help combat stress and anxiety, as well as provide an enjoyable leisure activity.  We have started to include this activity in our classroom about once a week.  When we notice the students are especially hyped up, or unable to concentrate, we block out 30 minutes for this activity, turn on classical music, and silence the room.  It’s a very enjoyable way for students to relax, and regain composure.  That being said, students need colored pencils to keep in their backpack.  Please send in box of colored pencils with your son or daughter by Monday, November 23rd.  Thank you!
